Jazz Hound

Jazz is one of many things Kobe has imported from abroad. Duke Ellington came to Kobe with his orchestra twice, Louis Armstrong with his trumpet performed live in the city and George Louis and his band toured all over Japan for several months, opening in Kobe. The city is proud to say that the first Japanese jazz band was formed here in 1923.

The Zigster is hoping to be one of the main attractions when the annual Jazz festival opens next month!

If you have to ask what jazz is, you'll never know.
Louis Armstrong
